17. Memorandum From Richard Pipes of the National Security Council Staff to the President’s Assistant for National Security Affairs (Clark)1
Washington,
August 26,
1982
SUBJECT
- NSDD on Eastern Europe
As State and Commerce were unable to agree upon mutually satisfactory language to define our policy on Technology Transfer in the NSDD on Eastern Europe, I recommend that the original text at Tab A be used.2
State, Defense and Norman Bailey concur with this decision.3
Recommendation
That you forward the memorandum at Tab I to the President with the text of the NSDD.4
